Abstract

This study aims to develop a conceptual framework of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) grounded in Islamic values and its role in achieving sustainable competitive advantage. This research employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review and thematic analysis of recent scholarly publications. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values, such as amanah (trustworthiness), adl (justice), ihsan (excellence), and shura (consultation), into SHRM practices strengthens ethical governance, enhances employee engagement, and fosters organizational resilience. Furthermore, the study proposes a conceptual model in which Islamic values function as a foundational driver influencing SHRM practices and the development of intangible organizational resources. This study contributes to extending the Resource-Based View (RBV) by incorporating spiritual values as strategic intangible assets. The findings provide both theoretical and practical implications for organizations aiming to achieve long-term sustainability through value-based management.
